Apple’s AirPods Max deals

The best noise-canceling headphones are the AirPods Max. When listening to or watching compatible content, the spatial audio feature of the Apple device allows for a more immersive experience and the headphones pair perfectly with other Apple devices. They claim the best transparency mode of all the headphones on our list, and they boast incredible build quality thanks to a design that opts for aluminum, steel, and fabric over plastic.

The price of the AirPods Max can be pricey, but many retailers have been selling them for less than the sticker price.

Bose QuietComfort 45 deals

Frequent travelers will appreciate the Bose QuietComfort 45s. They are lightweight and foldable, so you can carry them around with you, and ear fatigue is not likely. You don't have to worry about having to charge them since the battery life is at 24 hours. When you need to be more aware of your surroundings, for example when you are about to cross the street, the new transparency mode comes in handy, as it allows you to modify the bass, mid-range, and other aspects of the sound. If comfort is what you're after, the QC45 offer it in spades, even though they don't offer the same bassy response as the 1000XM4s.
